14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-ANE-21]

 

Alteration of VOR Federal Airway V-229; CT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action modifies Federal Airway V-229 located in 
Connecticut. This action is necessary to accommodate airspace users, 
reduce air traffic control (ATC) coordination and improve operations. 
The description for V-229 is also being changed to eliminate the 
exclusionary language regarding R-5002A, R-5002E, V-139 and V-308. In 
addition, this action will correct an inadvertent error in the airway 
description that reversed the Hartford true and magnetic radials.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., August 18, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 1, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify V-229 between 
the Hartford, CT, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical 
Air Navigation (VORTAC) facility and the Gardner, MA, VORTAC. It also 
proposed to eliminate the exclusionary language regarding R-5002A, R-
5002E, V-139 and V-308 (58 FR 58312). Interested parties were invited 
to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written 
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the 
proposal were received. Except for editorial changes and the correction 
to the Hartford 040 deg. radial, this amendment is the same as that 
proposed in the notice. Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in 
paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and 
effective September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The airway listed in this 
document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
modifies V-229 between the Hartford, CT, VORTAC and the Gardner, MA, 
VORTAC. Realigning the airway will accommodate the airspace users, 
reduce ATC coordination, and improve operations.
    The airspace designation for V-229 presently excludes R-5002A, R-
5002E, V-139 and V-308. These exclusions are being removed because the 
airspace boundaries of the restricted areas and the airways do not 
overlap the airspace of V-229. In addition, the Hartford true and 
magnetic radials used to define an intersection on V-229 were reversed. 
This action corrects the description to read ``INT Hartford 
040 deg.T(053 deg.M).''
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under 
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); 
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the 
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that 
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
